Morphological and Sexual Divergence Without Genetic Differentiation in Chinese Wildly Distribution <em>Cipangopaludina</em> Species
2026-06-26
Abstract excerpt
The taxonomic status of Cipangopaludina chinensis (ZGYTL) and C. cathayensis (ZHYTL) remains controversial due to morphological overlap and intermediate forms. We combined morphometrics (24 landmarks vs. 200 semilandmarks) with multi‑locus phylogenetics (COI, 16S rRNA, H3, 28S rRNA) and haplotype networks on sympatric populations from Liuzhou and GenBank. Morphometrics completely separated ZGYTL from ZHYTL in shel...
